Set up your Roku® streaming player for 4K HDR

What you need for HDR and 4K picture

• A 4K HDR TV with an HDMI 2.0 port and HDCP 2.2 support
• A Roku player that supports 4K and HDR
• A Premium High Speed HDMI® Cable (unless using a Roku Streaming Stick, which plugs directly into the TV)
• 4K HDR content from a supported streaming service (look for the 4K or HDR logos)

Set up audio/video connections

All connected devices like your TV, soundbar, or receiver, must support HDMI 2.0 and HDCP 2.2, or 4K HDR won't work. Check the following:

• Confirm your other devices support HDMI 2.0. Contact the manufacturer if you're unsure.
• Check your TV inputs support HDCP 2.2. Check the TV manual or contact the manufacturer for help.

Connect through a soundbar or AVR

Why is my TV's picture quality still not in 4K/HDR?

If you still aren't seeing higher quality picture, check the following:

• TV HDMI settings: Some TVs need 4K and HDR turned on for each HDMI port. Reach out to the manufacturer for help.
• Check device compatibility: All devices in the setup (TV, Roku, soundbar, other devices) must support HDMI 2.0 and HDCP 2.2.
• Software update: Make sure your TV’s software is up to date.
• Check if the movie or show is in 4K or HDR: Only certain shows have 4K and HDR, even if your streaming service supports it. Check for logos in the streaming app.
• Try a different cable: Make sure your HDMI cable is Premium High Speed.

Additional troubleshooting

• Restart your Roku player: Navigate to Settings > System > Power > System Restart to reset your player.
• Try a different display setting: If you are seeing a grey picture or are having display issues, navigate to Settings > Display Type and switch from 4K HDR to 4K or 1080p.
